Please join me in congratulating Ira on being awarded the Jefferson Scholars Foundation Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Nominations come from across the University and Ira was one of three 2015 recipients.

Bill Wilson had this to say:
"We at the JSF are looking for the very best teachers to honor, those who go the extra mile in instilling a love of learning and the virtues of scholarship. The testimonials on your behalf from your colleagues and students were simply laudatory, and we find ourselves not only in admiration of your devotion to our vocation, but thankful for it as well."
